Tottenham aim to secure a replacement for Fabio Paratici before finalising plans to bring in a new boss.
Spurs are looking for a new head coach to replace Antonio Conte with Julian Nagelsmann the favourite. But they are short of decision-makers at the top after Paratici, 50, resigned from his position as their managing director of football last month.
He was banned from football activities in Italy earlier this year when his former club Juventus were found guilty of false accounting. The Italian appealed against his ban but it was rejected and FIFA made his 30-month suspension worldwide leading Paratici to resign from his role at Spurs.
